NASC 2018 Annual Conference
Aug. 13 - 15 | Columbus, Ohio
Hosted by the Ohio Criminal Sentencing Commission
Sentencing and the work of sentencing commissions often intersect with other components of the criminal justice system, including bail, interstate compact, parole, diversionary programs, and problem-solving courts. The commissions also may work with reforms, risk assessments, forecasting, and impact analyses, all while engaging with community organizations and researchers.
The NASC (National Association of Sentencing Commissions) conference is the only national conference focusing on sentencing and its related issues. This conference provides an opportunity to network and share ideas, experiences, and expertise. This year, NASC also will offer pre- and post-conference workshops on sentencing and evaluating sentencing guidelines.
Look for conference registration and a final agenda later this Spring. For now, mark your calendar and save the dates!
